Premature ejaculation and reduced sexual sensation during intercourse - #18314

Souhaib

Hello Doctor, I am seeking professional advice regarding a sexual health concern. During sexual intercourse, I often experience premature ejaculation, usually occurring within about 7 minutes or sometimes even sooner. This has been affecting my confidence and overall satisfaction. In addition, during intercourse I notice reduced sexual sensation and difficulty maintaining strong arousal for a longer period. At times, the sensation feels weak, which makes it harder to continue comfortably. I suspect that this issue may be related to my past habit of frequent masturbation, but I am not sure if this is the real cause or if there could be other medical or psychological reasons. I would like to know what could be causing premature ejaculation and reduced sensation, and what treatment options are available. I am interested in safe medical treatments, natural remedies, exercises, or behavioral techniques that could help delay ejaculation and improve control. I do not wish to use Viagra, as I do not have erectile dysfunction or heart-related conditions. My main goal is to naturally increase the duration of intercourse and improve sexual performance in a healthy and safe way. Please advise if any tests or lifestyle changes are recommended. Thank you.

I’m a periodontist and academician with a strong clinical and teaching background. Over the last 4 years and 8 months, I’ve been actively involved in dental education, guiding students at multiple levels including dental hygienist, BDS, and MDS programs. Currently, I serve as a Reader at MMCDSR in Ambala, Haryana—a role that allows me to merge my academic passion with hands-on experience. Clinically, I’ve been practicing dentistry for the past 12 years. From routine procedures like scaling and root planing to more advanced cases involving grafts, biopsies, and implant surgeries. Honestly, I still find joy in doing a simple RCT when it’s needed. It’s not just about the procedure but making sure the patient feels comfortable and safe. Academically, I have 26 research publications to my credit. I’m on the editorial boards of the Archives of Dental Research and Journal of Dental Research and Oral Health, and I’ve spent a lot of time reviewing manuscripts—from case reports to meta-analyses and even book reviews. I was honored to receive the “Best Editor” award by Innovative Publications, and Athena Publications recognized me as an “excellent reviewer,” which honestly came as a bit of a surprise! In 2025, I had the opportunity to present a guest lecture in Italy on traumatic oral lesions. Sharing my work and learning from peers globally has been incredibly fulfilling. Outside academics and clinics, I’ve also worked in the pharmaceutical sector as a Drug Safety Associate for about 3 years, focusing on pharmacovigilance. That role really sharpened my attention to detail and deepened my understanding of drug interactions and adverse effects. My goal is to keep learning, and give every patient and student my absolute best.

I am a general dentist with 3+ years of working in real-world setups, and lemme say—every single patient teaches me something diff. It’s not just teeth honestly, it’s people… and how they feel walking into the chair. I try really hard to not make it just a “procedure thing.” I explain stuff in plain words—no confusing dental jargon, just straight talk—coz I feel like when ppl *get* what's going on, they feel safer n that makes all the difference. Worked with all ages—like, little kids who need that gentle nudge about brushing, to older folks who come in with long histories and sometimes just need someone to really sit n listen. It’s weirdly rewarding to see someone walk out lighter, not just 'coz their toothache's gone but coz they felt seen during the whole thing. A lot of ppl come in scared or just unsure, and I honestly take that seriously. I keep the vibe calm. Try to read their mood, don’t rush. I always tell myself—every smile’s got a story, even the broken ones. My thing is: comfort first, then precision. I want the outcome to last, not just look good for a week. Not tryna claim perfection or magic solutions—just consistent, clear, hands-on care where patients feel heard. I think dentistry should *fit* the person, not push them into a box. That's kinda been my philosophy from day one. And yeah, maybe sometimes I overexplain or spend a bit too long checking alignment again but hey, if it means someone eats pain-free or finally smiles wide in pics again? Worth it. Every time.

Hello,

Stay calm , You have got this !!

Premature ejaculation is very common, especially in men The good news is that it can be managed effectively with the right approach.

1.You can begin with behavioural methods;Start stop technique,Squeeze technique 2.Do kegel exercises 3.Use condoms 4.Maintain good lifestyle- exercise,good sleep

Then go with numbing sprays

You can try natural remedies like Aswagandha, Saffron,WALNUT (High success rate)

If and only if behavioural and topical methods is not working , (2-3 months)consult a sexologist or urologist for medical therapy.

👍About tests;

Only if PE is long-term, sudden, or happens with other problems.

Possible tests include:

Blood tests Blood sugar (diabetes) Thyroid test (TSH) Hormone levels (testosterone)

Urine test To rule out infection (if pain, burning, discharge)

Physical examination Penis and testicles Prostate (only in adults, rarely in young people)

Don’t worry. 🛑This is completely manageable in most cases.

Thank you
